Now there is peace, rapid development - and a new government. But questions remain. What do Tamils and Sinhalese feel about their new country? What are their dreams for the future? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSri Lanka: The New Country is insightful and unusual reportage from the dispassionate eye of a foreign correspondent who covered the bloody conflict for two decades. It is anecdotal narrative at its best: about ordinary Sri Lankans, former Tamil Tigers, meeting LTTE chief V. Prabhakaran, princes, 'secular clergymen', army generals, Tamil Buddhists, Sinhalese Tamils, politicians and sailors wary of ghosts. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs the writer traverses Sri Lanka's formerly embattled north and east, internationally stereotypes about the nation are challenged. The book is a tribute to a wonderful people, as they pick up the pieces of their fragmented national identity and get on with building a new country.","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45086484856983,"sku":"9789351770305","price":390.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789351770305.webp?v=1769202264","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/sri-lanka-the-new-country-9789351770305","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
